called family members instead of calling me.

Collections. Just tell any collector you don't want any more contact as per "The Fair Debt Collections Act". It's a Federal Law & they have to comply!

This is a scam. I got a call today from this number someone stating to Natalie Cruz Legal****istant. The vm said to listen to the message in private as it contains personal info. They are not a law firm. They said I would be arrested if I didn't pay. I said go ahead. They still call me every now and then,

Plain and simple - if you owe a debt - pay it! Then collectors would have nothing to call you about.Remember that Collectors are people too - its not like they take the job because as children they aim to be one some angry debt collector. Also keep in mind that the job is hard, they spend the majority of their day speaking to people who are mean/rude/****** from the minute they pick up the phone. People who are upset at their situation - no money, not able to afford to get by - tend to take it out, even on the nicest of collectors - only because they do not wish to be reminded of present cir***stances. Collectors are just doing their job - albiet some do it unproffesionally, but the point remains the same - if you paid the debt to begin with, it wouldnt make it to a collection agency/attorneys office.In terms of fake agencies - Google the company name, check out their website, call the BBB (Better Business Bureau) in their state - If they were fake - why would someone waste their time working for them?? I know I wouldn't go to work if I knew the company I worked for was just out to scam someone! In terms of letters - an agency only needs to notify of the debt being placed with them. When you recieve that letter you have 30 days to dispute the validity of the debt. The letter will tell you the steps you need to take to do so. It will also advise you that if you do not dispute it in that 30 days, than the balance is owed. Payments over the phone - are you all aware that if you give a company permission to take money from your account on a certain day - and they remove it on a different date - you can sue the agency! Most agencies will tell you they only accept payment over the phone as a means to help you - with that payment set on the account, the client; i.e. The store, the bank, the company you owe, can see that you have intention to take care of it before they move the account further. (Another agency or an Attorneys office) If you do not have an active account or are still not comfortable with it - MoneyGram or Western Union is usually an option - and you can call the collector back with the tracking number as proof you sent it.Also keep in mind that agencies/offices do keep very good notes. What you say is do***ented on your account, so if you have been repeatedly rude to collectors at the same company - of course they will have the "harshest" collector there call you next. That is their job - to****ist you in finding a way to pay the debt that you owe. It is NOT their fault that you bounced the check, ran up a credit card bill so high that you cant afford to pay it, or terminated phone service and owe an early termination fee. It IS their JOB to collect the money.Their notes also do***ent things like payments - when to run it & for how much. If there are multiple payments, all are do***ented in the notes from that conversation. If you set a payment plan with many payments, you will generally recieve a notice in the mail 7-10 days before the payments process's to remind you. Also keep in mind that just because you havent heard from anyone about a debt in a significant amount of time, does NOT mean it went away. It generally means that the account was moved to another agency/office. Eventually, they WILL find you a***n. Collectors will utilize what services they need to, to locate a debtor. All and all - if you dont want to deal with collectors - than pay your bills/fees/accounts/overdrafts and so on - then we would all put collectors out of work! :)

YOU MOTHERF***ERS SAID I OWE A CRAQCK BILL WHEN YOUR MOTHER SMOKED IT ALL UP

you son of a b***h you should get a life you broke a** ***** . I dont owe your ignorant ***gry no good welfare a** s**t b***h . go sell your a** if you want money that bad or go **** some big white d*** or tell ya mama ***git to you GO GOGGLE GOGGINS, KEVIN JOHNSON

These people called my wifes cell and I took over the call,they told me I owe for a bad check from 2007,when asked for more info. they declined,told them I was going to report this to the police and they said they will add that to my file and ***g up. When reported to the police.....it is a scam!!!! Please people BEWARE!!!!

thay called my and said i hand 500.00 of  checks out and i told hem i did not no what he was talking about and the check i did have out i payed and i have 3 pepple to prove what i said .he said you you not talling to the true and  he ***g up on me.

Called my cell phone and home, claiming my wife and I owed $308 from previous medical bills to Bennett Medical.  Called Bennett and they said not only do we not owe money, but they actually owe me a return payment for an overpayment.  My wife's medical info was hacked into about a year ago at a local hospital and this makes sense now as this is most likely how they got her info.  This IS a scam - it's obvious they're either in on it, or are relying on erroneous info to pursue innocent people.

some **** called me from there today. claiming i owed over $1,000 for old bank fees. told him, "so? sue me for it". s****ed on some tangent that I must have opened the acct to defraud the bank. told him he was ****** and to sue me. he said I will have the attorneys review the file today for action. I said, "great, see ya in court". kept trying to "work with me". I don't need worked with, thief. Like someone calls from an attorneys offc and your supposed to be all shook up? sue me loosers.

Called for my husband, and when I said he wasn't available said, "I****ume this is his mother?"  That ticked me off.  I said, "I'm his wife," and he ***g up on me.  That really ticked me off.  He would tell me his name and that he was from Minneapolis but nothing else.  Sorry, I don't remember what he said his name was.

Very non-professional... "attourney"Asking about NSF checks. Have had some but would not give me any info... Only wanted Money.Would not accept through mail. only wanted links to my account.I don't know who this iskept ****ing up on husband as he tried to get info to send a payment. Wouldn't accept any money order etc.... Finally ***g up on us with a "GOOD LUCK!" if you don't have an account.We didn't give him any information~ I suggest you don't either.

Bill today the same exact thing happened to me same person kevin johnsonstating that I had a NSF from a ****llo****** **** surgery with the name NCRP and he couldn't give any other info there were at least 3 people that I spoke with I honestly think this is definitely a scam...does anyone know how to report this to the government or what avenue to take?

Called looking for my daughter. Left message with my daughter to call number, she did and a Kevin Johnson acting as an lawyer, told her she owed $ 1,000.00 for three NSF checks written in Jan. 2007. Daughter was working and said she didn't know what he was talking about, she didn't know what to do and the man told her they could take a smaller portion out of her checking account,($300.00) she thought she better do that as to not get into trouble. Thought about it after a while and called the bank and they said she has never had a NSF check. Called me and we have since looked on the internet and found numerous other complaints.

jLF are you on drugs? You TOTALLY contradicted yourself by calling the lady rude and ignorant, then in the next sentence you called her rude and black. Seems to me YOU are rude and who gives a rats a** what your color is!!!

Got a call from this number.  Rude, ignorant lady claiming it was an attorney's office.  Asking for my deceased brother.  These rude black individuals need to be prosecuted.

I received 2 calls from a Brooke Taylor who says she's a legal****istance with attorney's Goggin and Levitman (sp?). She didn't say what the call was about, just to call her at 8003906590 ext 137. Sounds like a scam because I know I don't owe anyone.

I received a phone call from a lady saying it was an attorney office She was snippy and asking for my deceased brother in law  Wouldnt give me any information
